Thank you for making these videos in English. They are very informative of a subject material that many of us do not appreciate.
Excellent production! Learned a lot from this. Absolutely love the footage you got your hands on and used in this as well, hadn’t seen a lot of these clips before.

Hey I saw sometimes ago your video on that one italian submarine, your channel is nice. Only one complain: AI "art" tumbnails, I think photos or man made art works better

Guilio, An excellent presentation for those who had prior knowledge of Italy’s participation in the Battle of the Atlantic! The film footage and photographs were particularly interesting for me! Thanks and regards, Bob
Not only german submarines... Italian too... We italians had there very big submarines which where used to hunt american convoys cruising from Brazil to the east coast of the USA and to reach the Japanese held Philippines and south east Asia... To exchange assets with the Rising Sun Empire itself...

Yup the red sea fleet boats were awesome shame they didn't have heaters for the cold Atlantic. They had snorkels from the start as well. Such a shame cavagnari decided to stick to the grid square camping tactics
would you do a video about life aboard an Italian Sub?
Excellent photos and historic stories, thank you for sharing, JV

Thank you!
An under touched theatre of war. I'm glad to see it finally get the attention it deserves.
Great Video, thank you for posting.
Facsinating as always. Great footage - I hadn't seen most of it before.
A really excellent video! As usual clear concise information, just the way I like it. I knew BETASOM existed but I knew nearly nothing else. Thank you for enlightening me. ^^
Cagni and her sisters were most interesting iterations of the Cruiser Submarine Raider concept so popular between the wars.
Liked and shared.
Thank you for this, all brand new information for me. I appreciate the learning
YES! ENGLISH!!!😁😁😁
Good production! Are you going to make another on the later period of time when Betasom became the Divisione Atlantica? And maybe about the Italian submarines in the far east. One of them in Japan shot down the last US airplane in ww2

Thank you! I would like to make another one focussing on the transport mission to the far east
fantastic :)
Compare with German experiences in the Mediterranean Sea. Germany lost, I believe, every U-Boot sent to the Med.
